Xilinx Vivado Design Suite Installation Guide
Updated: 6/21/2018
Before you start Multisim 14.1 is required to connect with the PLTW S7 chip.
It is imperative that you consult your IT team before you install any software or attempt
to change any settings on your computer. Administrative rights are based on a profile
created by your System Administrator. Many variations are possible, and these “rights”
may not allow you to install this software properly.
Prepare Your System
1. Disable the User Account Controls (set to Never notify).
2. Disable your anti-virus software.
3. Disable the pop-up blocker in the browser you are using.
Note: You can re-enable these settings after the software is installed and
operational.
4. Ensure you have permissions to install USB drivers for any Android, Robotics,
or other devices that will connect to the computer via USB.
